B -- OFF SITE LABORATORY ANALYTICAL SERVICES (LAS) SOL KH602592EP3 DUE 072596 POC Contact Point, D. P. Timbes, Kaiser-Hill Company, L.L.C., FAX (303) 966-8350 or 8322 Kaiser-Hill Company, L.L.C. (Contractor), is the Integrating Management Contractor at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (Site) near Denver, Colorado and Bechtel Nevada Corporation (Contractor) is the Management & Operating Contractor at DOE's Nevada Test Site. Contractors contemplate multiple performance-based Subcontract awards utilizing fixed unit rates to be awarded on the basis of fair and effective competition for Analytical Services at DOE's Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site and Nevada Test Site herein referred to as ''Site(s)''. The contemplated performance period of the Subcontract(s) will be a three year base period and two one year options. Contractors respective anticipated analytical services will be combined in a single request for Proposal (RFP) as described herein. Subsequently, as determined by Contractors, appropriate subcontracts will be awarded for each Site. Once awarded, all subcontract administration, control and accountability will reside with the Site awarding the subcontract. The Scope of Work is organized by analytical catagory in modules. The analytical catagories are 1.) Radiochemistry, 2.) Standard Services, 3.) Geotechnical and Geosynthetics, 4.) Bioassay, 5.) Industrial Hygiene, and 6.) Safe Drinking Water. Each catagory will contain specific Statement of Work (SOW) modules based on analyte, and/or method and will be applicable to rad and non-rad contaminated materials. The modules currently anticipated for each of the six analytical catagories are as follows: 1.) RADIOCHEMISTRY - a. Isotopic, b. Tritium, c. High Resolution Gamma, d. Gross Alph/Beta, e. Radiometric Sr. and Cs and f. Radium 226; 2.) STANDARD SERVICES - a. Volatile Organics, b. Semi-Volatile Organics, c. Pesticide and PCBs, d. Dioxin and Furans, e. Inorganic Metals, f. Water Quality and Nutrient Parameters and g. Biological and Taxonomic Parameters; 3.) GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOSYNTHETICS - a. Physical Parameters Testing (Direct Shear, Triaxial Shear, Atterberg Limits, and Bulk Density); 4.) BIOASSAY SERVICES - a. Radiochemical Urine, Fecal, Nasal, and Tissue Analysis; 5.) INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE - a. Metals - (ICP and AA), b. Organic-Acids - (GC/MS, GC/FID, GC/TCD, GC/ECD, HPLC, Colorimetric Analysis, Gravimetric Analysis, and Ion Chromatography), c. Asbestos, d. Silica - (X-Ray Defraction, and Infrared), and e. Breathing Air; and 6.) SAFE DRINKING WATER. Modules that have been designated as SB/SDB set-asides under SIC code 8734 are Water Quality and Nutrient Parameters, under STANDARD SERVICES, Metals, and Organic-Acids under INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE, and SAFE DRINKING WATER. The module titles within each catagory may increase based on the needs and demands of the Site(s). Samples consist of groundwater, surface water, soils, subsurface soils, sludges, sediments, granular activated carbon, fabrics, plastics, resins, residues, filtrates, retainates, filters, filtration materials, non-aqueous solutions, air, gases, biota, animal tissues, plant tissues, acquatic tissues, whole mammals, whole insects, whole fish and other acquatic life, polycarbonate filters, waste filter socks, asphalt, concrete and other solids, mixed matrices and combinations thereof. Specific SOW modules identified above may not be available at the time of RFP issuance and therefore, will not be inclluded in the RFP. Contractor(s) may elect to specifically identify and incorporate SOW modules not previously established for the analytical catagories included in the aforementioned RFP (and/or incorporate additional modules) and associated pricing, utilizing only the successful Offerors responding to the initial RFP. THIS ACQUISITION IS A TWO STEP PROCESS. The FIRST STEP will be determined on a go/no-go basis to establish Offerors meeting the Pre-Qualification Criteria as specified below.

No other costs will be authorized or compensated by Contractor. Offeror's cost proposal will be applied to a Cost Proxy Model to develop aggregate pricing for evaluation purposes. OFFERORS MUST PROPOSE ON ALL RFP ANALYSES WITHIN INDIVIDUAL MODULE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN AWARD. The overall evaluation criteria will be described by the RFP documents. A Pre-award Audit may be conducted to verify Offeror's Proposal as it related to the specific RFP requirements. NOTE: No lower-tier subcontracting will be allowed. However, joint ventures, limited liability companies, or other SINGLE level entities as ''Offeror'' will be considered by Contractors. All work shall be performed within Offeror's organization.
